Building Permit - Commercial

You will need both a Town Building Permit and a County Building Permit to proceed with your project. It is strongly recommended that you start your project by filling out and submitting a Pre-application Meeting Request form to the Town. This meeting will allow our Planning Department staff to become familiar with your project and to answer your initial questions.

Depending complexity of your application, a Development Review meeting may have to be scheduled after the Planning Department completes its initial review. The purpose of this meeting is to allow you to talk directly to representatives from the Buena Vista Planning Department, the Public Works Department, the Fire Department, the Buena Vista Sanitation District, the Police Department, and other agencies to ask and answer questions about your project.
